Ep: 34 American Parenting: Why It’s So Hard—But Doesn’t Have to Be! Dr. Leonard Sax. Part 2

Summary: Raising emotionally healthy kids is no easy task and according to Dr. Leonard Sax, it’s infinitely more difficult for American parents compared to parents in Western Europe. In part 2 of my interview with psychologist, physician, and author, Dr. Leonard Sax we discover: •Why American kids are exponentially more likely to be diagnosed with a mental illness than kids in Western Europe. •The brain damage that occurs from ADHD medications. •Sleep deprivation and how it affects kids’ cognition and motivation. •Why adult ADHD recently became a “thing” and why it’s not a legitimate diagnosis. •How boys and girls interact with social media differently and the impact on their emotional development. Dr. Sax provides research-based strategies for raising happy and successful kids in the midst of the collapse of American parenting. www.drkarin.me
